8. Remember the Milk
Remember, the Milk (RTM) is a great name for a GTD software offering and the actual software isn’t too shabby, either.
RTM does not have a brain-dump entry screen like that of the Hiveminder, but it does offer a very elegant and complete approach for entering tasks. Instead of just creating lists that are disconnected for their context, RTM shows you the context on the right side of the screen allowing you to set due date, tags, location and reminders. Tasks can also be added via email-all you do is send an email to the special RTM address for your account and you’ve got yourself a task.
Remember the Milk’s Task review
RTM’s system offers very rich features that allow you to set reminders via email or instant messaging and even SMS. Reminders can be set for daily tasks and when a particular task is due.
Remember the Milk reminders
RTM also includes RSS (actually ATOM feeds but most feed readers today don’t care about the difference) as well as iCal exports so you can check out your tasks in a calendar or RSS reader.
There is also at least one critical thing that RTM does that no other hosted app that we tested currently offers: offline access. By taking advantage of Google Gears Remember, the Milk lets you run an offline instance of the application that can be synced up to the online version when you’re back online. This is an extremely useful and important feature, especially for those who find themselves on planes disconnected from the Internet but still want to be able to access their task lists.

What about Sandy? http://iwantsandy.com works with jott and twitter.
Just like Sean Kerner mentioned in his conclusion
With that in mind I created what can be tried out here:
http://www.michielhuiskens.nl/todo [...] freetoedit
It would be very much appreciated if people tried it out and let me know what they think.
(I know it needs a scrollbar option for when there are more items then fits the screen, don't worry, that is on my personal ToDo list :-))

Did this review really review anything at all? Reading this review just gets in the way of actually getting things done.
I implemented GTD with Backpack (by the same guys that do basecamp) and it works great from me.
Thinking Rock is a very authentic reproduction of GTD workflow in a dekstop app: http://www.thinkingrock.com.au/
The only knock I have against it is that it does not have server/syncing component for easily accessing your review.
Hi,
For implementing GTD you might try out this new web-based application:
http://www.gtdagenda.com
You can use it to manage your goals, projects and tasks, set next actions and contexts, use
checklists, schedules and a calendar.
A mobile version is available too.
As with the last update, now Gtdagenda has due date for tasks (you'll see in the calendar on the right if you have tasks due today), task notes, and Email & Print support.
Hope you like it.
I can't believe you have a GTD list without http://www.vitalist.com on it.
